Rogue Wave is an alternative rock band signed to Jack Johnson’s label Brushfire Records (they released 2 previous albums with Sub Pop). Rogue Wave is headed by Zach Schwartz (aka Zach Rogue), who created the band after losing his job in the dot-com bust. Their first album was Out of the Shadow which was written, recorded and produced entirely by Zach Rogue (except the drums) - released privately in 2003 and finally re-released in 2004 on Subpop. In the autumn of 2004 they went on a national tour of the US, which lasted two years. They have been compared in the music press to The Shins. Their second album, Descended Like Vultures, was released in October of 2005.

They are also featured on the Stubbs: The Zombie Soundtrack doing a cover of Buddy Holly’s “Everyday”. A live version of their Out of the Shadow track, “Every Moment”, appeared on the soundtrack for the movie Napoleon Dynamite. However, the song never appeared in the movie itself. In addition, the song “Eyes” was featured twice in the Ryan Reynolds movie Just Friends this fall, and the first episode of NBC’s Heroes. The Fox show The O.C. has used Rogue Wave songs, “Publish My Love” (DLV) and “Interruptions” (10:1 EP) as well as included “Publish My Love” on The O.C. Mix 5, a collection of songs used in the show. Rogue Wave recently recorded an exclusive song for the new movie, “Spiderman 3”.
